Pleas do a technical video on spf
I was hoping you'd address all the youtubers recommending to their subscribers that they can mix pigment drops into their sunscreens or mix different tinted sunscreens to get the right shade without affecting the effectiveness and stability of the SPF protection.
Sweetie, can you do one for pregnancy-safe sunscreen? Pregnancy-safe skincare too :)
Thank you! Signed up 🙏
I love the recommendations section of the paper😂. Always found that filled with attack via dry humor
"..if you're interested I can do a more technical, hard-core, nerdy video about it."
YES!
I second that
A little Lab Muffin goes a long way.

🍒🍒🍒💯
alot of skincare gurus and influencers really need to start watching her... just saying, the fear-mongering in skincare might not exist...
Right? Like i enjoy other skincare youtubers that aren’t scientists or dermatologist like lab muffin or dr dray BUT i hate when people watch only hyram or james welsh and say, “i will ONLY listen to them🙅🏻♀️” like? They can do their research and give great advice but i have no idea why you listen to only ONE person especially if they didn’t even go to school for it.
@@flxwercxrpse1871 I might leave Dr Dray out of that combo...
@@efolinsky how so? Just curious
@@nancykerrigan she may be a doctor but she definitely fear mongers about fragrance (no it's not the best thing but it's not the devil she makes it out to be) and there's other issues with her content
What she says about fragrance is true though. It serves no purpose in skincare other than to make something smell good. It's not needed
You deserve more subscribers than some “influencers” or “experts”
HK PDC hi
defo!!!!! this comment needs to be pinned
The myth about physical sunscreen that it reflects all the uv radiation is the biggest myth... thank god someone talk about it.
The she is the goddess of chemistry...🙇🏽♀️🙇🏼♀️🙇🏻♀️
Please do a video on how high percentage of skincare actives (niacinamide, vitamin-c, glycolic, acid etc) can ruin our face....
@@JubyJub Hi. I've been using it for 2 years with no problems, jumped right in and never had a bad reaction. However, this is not the case for everyone, some people can break out (either from the high% niacinamide or the zinc), so I'd say the best thing is to mix 1-2 drops into your moisturizer for the first couple weeks and see how you like it.
Overall it's a safe ingredient and that is a safe formulation, the worst thing that can happen is a little breakout but it goes away if you stop it. It's not like an acid or retinol or even vitamin C, it regulates sebum and it's soothing to the skin. Don't worry. 😊
@@JubyJub I am also using this niacinamide and zinc serum from the ordinary for last 1 year. I have very oily acne prone skin and at 1st it gave me some breakouts. But the purging healed within 4 weeks and then i have started seeing good results. Breakouts have been significantly reduced and also the sebum production is under control. But no improvement in my enlarged pores.
Márcia I think you could also try putting it on after you apply your moisturizer so it’s less irritating. I’m not too positive, but I think that Dr. Dray mentioned that in a video.
@@supritaroy7279 Yeah, I have very large pores and I haven't seen a difference in that aspect either. The truth is, we have to be realistic; pore size is mostly genetic and it's not gonna change with any product, the most we can do is try to keep the pores clean so they don't look even larger. Niacinamide can help because it reduces sebum production and, by extent, the amount of sebum clogging our pores, but it doesn't do miracles... unfortunately. 😅
@@JubyJub Niacinamide would be a super low concern active, I think they're more thinking of acids and retinols.
My experience with putting 10+% on my face is I seemed to break out more & get some irritation. With less it's fine - underwhelming, but, fine :) 4% seems to be a sweet spot in studies. I'd try 2 drops of the serum on damp face, quickly followed by your moisturizer, cut back if u get issues.
We want more technical here. I'm also a bit nerdy.
yes!!!!
Pleaseeeeeeeee
"People with darker skin don't need sunscreen" I hate everything about this! Your skin only takes longer to get damaged by the sun because it has more melanin to absorb the UV rays but that doesn't mean its not harmful! Many people still think they're good without it (which is so stupid because that's actually the most important step of a skin care routine when it comes to health!)
I've had people with darker skin tell me this so often, and it baffles me every time. I've seen people with dark skin have obvious tan lines during the summer. If you have tan lines, that means your skin is acknowledging there's damaging rays coming through! Help it!
You know you're a die hard skin care nerd when you scream of excitement when lab muffin has an upload. I love learning the science behind my skincare
Also if you had no complaints half the video ended up being on the coral reef, you might be a nerd :-D
TRUE!!! 💖💖💖
I just think it's funny how a tan is considered as healthy when it is literally our cells dying 💀💀💀💀
YES!!! I was so tired of hyram and all these other influencers giving chemical sunscreen filters a bad reputation. Now I can use my chemical sunscreens in peace.
You are truly the Lord and Saviour of evidence and science based skincare!!!!
In all honesty, you can’t blame Hyram or other influencers for not using chemical sunscreens. Hyram’s even said that he’s not sure if chemical UV filters are bad for coral reefs, especially because there are so many studies that contradict each other. Some scientists say that chemical sunscreens damage coral reefs, other scientists say that they don’t. Hyram said that just to be safe and until there is actual proof that chemical sunscreens aren’t bad for coral reefs, he wants to avoid them just to be safe. You also have to know that he lives in Hawaii, so he wants to be especially careful AND Hawaii is going to ban chemical sunscreens in 2021, because they’re “damaging” to coral reefs. If his state is completely banning chemical sunscreens because they’re apparently harmful, it would make sense as to why he thinks they’re damaging. Not to mention, a lot of newer sunscreens have recently started labeling them as “coral reel safe” which makes it seem even more like there are sunscreens that aren’t coral reef friendly.
I thought most of what he uses were chemical sunscreens.
@@hannaelawil8793 that's a very specific example. Also, a lot of skincare and makeup is labelled with all kinds of stuff. Eg- free from petrolatum (it's totally fine), free from Mercury (it shouldn't be in the product regardless of the label). Also, there's a way bigger narrative of chemical sunscreens somehow being bad or inferior when in actuality it's the opposite. Demonizing chemical sunscreens does people with a darker skin tone, such as myself, a disservice. I simply can't use a mineral sunscreen without it leaving a horrible cast on me and most tinted sunscreen don't run deep enough. I'm sorry but telling people not to use chemical sunscreens when for many of us it's the only option is not justifiable.
I’m so shook! The Hyperpigmentation Clinic claims that chemical sunscreen is bad for people of color, but now my mind is blown! Knowledge is power
I hope Dr. V can give her thoughts on this video.
the fact that I know who were you talking about 🤭😂
Her channel brought me here. Lord. I’m confused lol.
Same here
Remember: the Environmental Footprint (or under other names) was designed by industry to make environmental protection an individual thing; you personally will never reuse enough to make a difference. 100 people reducing won’t make a difference-not while industry goes on destroying and polluting. A mere 100 companies have contributed to 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Not to mention industrial factors like chemical pollution, deforestation/habitat loss, water waste, etc. All the CEOs, politicians, World Bank officials know this too. They talk about it, and talk about how they really don’t care about the planet or people, as long as they can make money. Right now, the wealthiest are planning for how they are going to live and maintain their wealth when climate change really becomes catastrophic and we lose access to secure water etc. They know they made this problem and continue to make it worse, and just want to find ways they can stay on top when their actions kill everything.
We definitely need a more science-y nerdy video about the differences between absorption and reflection etc. please do one! We would love it.
timestamps for anyone who need them
0:28 “Chemical sunscreens absorb UV, physical sunscreens scatter and reflect UV”
04:13 “A little goes a long way with sunscreens”
05:20 “We don’t need sunscreen because we evolved to live with the sun”
07:21 “Sunscreen cause coral reef bleaching”
12:03 “Moisturizer with SPF doesn’t work as well as sunscreen”
13:26 “You need to avoid alcohol in sunscreens”
You are this... light at the end of the tunnel for me. I'm so tired of watching "beauty experts" who think they know a lot and they don't! Michelle,please, can you also debunk myths on "cruelty free" cosmetic products? I think there's a lot of confusion about this subject and people need to know what the situation is really like. You're my favourite beauty "nerd" by the way. Hugs from Spain!!!
Thank goodness you clarified that "Physical is better" myth. Now I feel more confident using my Bioderma chemical Sunscreen products 😉
some influencers make you feel bad or insecure about using chemical sunscreens when as far as I know there no concrete evidence that one is better that tthe other...
Olaya Sánchez Actually chemical sunscreens can be better than physical, because of the how European chemical sunscreens can reach such high UVA protection ex. Bioderma, P20, Avene.
Same dude!!
I love the tinted Bioderma
Which bioderma sunscreen are you using?
“Government policy isn’t always based on good science.” Quote of the day! And I would add that if policy does happen to be based on good science, it’s because it benefits big business in some way. My question about sunscreens is regarding absorption in the body of chemical sunscreen ingredients. I’ve seen mineral sunscreens recommended as safer.
I feel that UV protection focus too much on SPF, that is UVB rays protection, but not so much on UVA. In the long run UVA can cause serious damage to the skin too but in some countries UVA protection factors are not as highly publicized as SPF. Could you please share some tips of what to look for in a sunscreen in order to get protection for both UVB and UVA rays?
Also thanks for talking about the “physical “ vs “chemical” sunscreen debate. I love my chemical sunscreen I can use te proper amount without getting a white cast nor the pasty feeling
Look for sunscreen with zinc oxide, the label broad spectrum, and the PA ++++ relates to uva.
providence51 Zinc oxide can get to PA++++ when the percentage is %20 which is rare in mineral sunscreen, plus it will be probably have a lot of white cast.
she breaks down all sunscreen filters in her sunscreen guide including what each of them protect against :)
European sunscreens with SPF 50+ and UVA in a circle If you dont wanna consider so many sunscreen-related things. Make sure that you read reviews about how good they are at film forming and water resistance.
"the choice of giving Australians bad internet" BUUUURN :D hahahhahhahah so sassy, love it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, even though I am in my mid 30ies I still get comments from both the older generation and my peers saying that I look too pale and should get a tan to look healthier :/ Last time my reply was "this is my natural healthy skin colour, is there something wrong with it?" and there was just silence.
*plays tiniest of violins* Try being darker and told you need to be lighter to be beautiful 😁 byproduct of false European standards of beauty imposed around the world 😁😁
Nicolle's Dreams I find that I do look more beautiful when I'm tanned, but luckily I've also learned how to use makeup to achieve the look I want...A foundation, bronzer and blush are my go-to makeup routine to look "healthy" (god I hate that expression as a pale person)...In my 20's I was stupid and got a real sun tan to look certain way but I now know better...Just few years ago my mom questioned how safe sunscreens are but now has had basal cell carsinoma diagnosed on her nose. The myths need to die.
Sing it! I've had so many coworkers- of every shade- tell me that I'm unhealthy for having my skin tone, and a couple have had the gall to _make jokes_ about my use of sunscreen. You should never be shamed for taking care of your body!
sadly many youtube influencers don't have such knowledge. could you please talk about myths of essential oil?
Sadly many pretend that they do.
I'm autistic and really sensitive to textures on my skin, to the extent that when my parents would put greasy sunscreen on me I would subconsciously scratch it off to stop the feeling. They always claimed that 'all sunscreens feel like that' but I've found as an adult that there are plenty which are quick-drying and as a result don't leave the greasy feel. Not sure if that's a common myth, but I'd be curious as to where the belief comes from.
Do you have any affordable recommendations? :)
@@graceelizabeth8284 Yes! Garnier Ambre Solaire Dry Mist is the best one I've found so far.
@@LupaDracolis thank you for the recommendation, as an autistic person in a similar situation, I've said "I'd literally rather 💀 of skin cancer than feel sunscreen on my face ever again" 😅😅 excited to try this
i HATE those greasy sunscreens and i used to get sunburned so much bc i hated purring it on
Michelle, you’re truly a GEM. the fact that you approach things in an unbiased view while providing scientific evidence in an easy to comprehend manner.. it’s like free Univeristy, THANK YOU so much!! won’t be surprised if i see a similar video pop up from other skincare channels in a few days after they’ve collected notes :p
I died at the evolution myth 😭 I could have never thought that. Why would you expend so much mental gymnastics to avoid using sunscreens 😭
As far as the evolution myth goes, I think people got it backwards. People evolved to have lighter skin as they migrated further away from the equator due to the need for vitamin D. Since people wear more clothes in colder climates, they get less sun exposure and so less vitamin D from the sun. Lighter skin evolved as a way to absorb more vitamin D in the limited time that sun exposure was possible.
@@donnaroberts281 Yes! Which helps to explain why colorism is literally just total b.s.
@@CMch22 What is colorism?
@@ObliviateOrchestra It's the component of racism that results in people believing lighter skin tones are better
Mich Ael As a fair-skinned person, I can confirm that there is nothing inherently better about any skin tone. It’s all perceived societal crap. The only thing lighter skin tones are better for is to line the pockets of companies that manufacture sunscreen. It’s really sad to see people use (mostly unsafe) products to try to lighten their skin because society teaches them to believe that lighter skin is somehow better.
Wow, this is a game-changer!! I thought physical sunscreens were better for preventing hyperpigmentation (Dr Rattan follower!) so have been avoiding chemical sunscreens like the plague and living with the dreaded white-cast.😬😢😭 Knowing I can wear a chemical sunscreen to get the same results, BUT with no white-cast, is amazing! 😮🤔😲 Woo Hoo! 😁🥳🤪 THANKS FOR BUSTING THAT MYTH MICHELLE!! 💛💚💙🤗💜💗🧡
Yes but most chemical sunscreens in america are garbage. The chemical sunscreens overseas are the far better ones and US doesnt allow those specific ingredients unfortunately.
Seek Korean sunscreen like Klairs UV Essence Sunscreen, Purito Centella Sunscreen, etc.
Dr Rattan follower here too and I so wish she would see this & react &/or update her followers!
@@HamayleSaeed I agree. I hope we can show this to her. If only we can tag Dr. V here. Haha
I only watch Dr dray for general skincare and Lab muffin. No other silly gimmicky influencers for me!
GIVE US THE NERDY VIDEO!! lol I would love an in depth explanation of how sunscreen works❤️❤️
Idk why but I really want to see you do your makeup and talk about more skincare myths in a chitchat way🙈also wanna see you with some winged liner
Haha the problem is I only really have one makeup look 😅
😂
She's done videos like that before
I just love your patience and your dedication to educate us! And I am so ready for a more nerdy and deeper video :D
This is a really good video. Thank you. I love how you structure your vids. The pacing is great and makes them really watchable.
Early 🙌🙌🙌 and absolutely love her! The videos are fun but also really informative, which is really needed now with too many people spreading innaccurate, biased or incomplete information on skincare. Thank you for the amazing work!💞
Thank you so much for this video! Your SPF videos are always so informative!!
Thank you for this video! I hear these myths (and the ones from your previous sunscreen videos) All The Time. It's really helpful to have a video with good explanations and scientific evidence to refer people to. :)
Very informative- thank you for nerdifying us, Michelle! I definitely had heard “experts” push some of these myths as truth.
getting scientific information helps ease my anxiety so much. you have no idea how much you've helped many of us. i appreciate it.
Thank you so much for making this video! Plz do the super detailed version that you mentioned. I feel like it would also be really helpful.
Love this video and would definitely be interested in seeing a more nerdy breakdown ✅❤️❤️❤️ thank you for setting the record straight.
I can tell you're a fellow Melbournian bc your accent was SO undetectable to me that only now, after months of watching your videos did I stop and say "OOOHH! SHE'S AUSSIE! YAY!"
Hahaha close, I'm in Sydney! 🇦🇺 I've had that experience watching a lot of Australian RUclipsrs too...
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Any other year I would usually try to persuade you to move down as a win for Melbourne in the epic Melbourne V Sydney cultural standoff that has existed for generations. Maybe next year :p
I would love to see the super nerdy video! Thank you for working so hard!
Great video!, I heard these myths alot. I would also love the super nerdy video about how excited electrons release their energy :)
As someone currently in a PhD program, I love your videos! You give easily digestible information of interest to many people like me! :D
Have you done anything about what sunglasses we should be looking for? I’ve worn sunscreen since my dad got diagnosed with melanoma when I was 16 and then I just had an optometrist tell me at 21 to watch the brown spot in my eye because there’s a possibility it could be eye melanoma lololol
Dr Vanita Rattan, a derm has created sunglasses, check out her channel. They are pricey though but seem high quality and lux. They are also unisex.
barely listening thanks I’ll look them up!
What colour are your eyes? I had my optometrist also tell me to wear sunglasses because I have lighter eyes that are more prone to damage from light. It can also cause cataracts when you're older.
Listen to Dr Dray too.
Yes, a video on the science of UV protection for eyes would be GREAT! 👍🏼 And not just about sunnies, but “eye sunscreens”, too.
I’m confident in my belief that dedicated eye creams are, in general, a relabelled face moisturiser and, therefore, a total waste of money, but I have no opinion on sunscreens for the eyes...🤔. What do you think?
This is prolly my fav topic when you talk about suncreen myths because it's so important to know how sunscreen truly works and how much to put on. Thanks again Michelle for educating us! You are one of my inspiration to become a chemist one day! We love you!❤
I want the technical explanation of organic vs. inorganic!!!! I love these types of videos.
You are so awesome, I love your videos!!! I wish more people would watch you, to really understand the science behind skincare and the marketing techniques as well. I truly believe knowledge is power, thank you for providing understandable information for complicated scientific concepts.
your info is always so helpful! thank you
Love your videos 🙏🏼✨ so informative and I always learn something new or more about a subject
Love all the education. Thanks for posting.
Hey! I looove you’re videos, I’m studying chemistry and in the future I want to work in research and development of cosmetics! Please do a more nerdy video about sunscreens 🥰
You are teaching me so much! Thank you so much Michelle!
Another fabulous AAA plus Myth Busting episode. Really great unravelling. I also loved the NBN allusion that snuck in there. As always thank you.
Thank you! The knowledge you share literally changes live and habits
Thank you for all you do! These videos are so helpful 💖
Very informative thank you for your hard work ♥️
Yay I'm glad you liked it! 😊
I LOVE that you keep the science and the truth coming, no matter how idiotic marketing gets!
Thank you so much Lab Muffin Beauty Science! You have helped me so much. I’ve been pretty unhappy wearing reef-safe sunscreens and haven’t found one I liked too much. But now that I understand it’s not an issue, I will gladly look for new options. You are amazing ❤️
Awesome video Michelle. Thank you for sharing that on the coral reefs. I don't think that anyone had bothered to question this piece of information before spreading the coral reef propaganda.
Thank you for clearing this up!
Yes please, do the technical hardcore video!!!!!!! Also, have you heard about antioxidants overestimating the spf/uvapf values.? Something around the lines that antioxidants will mask the markers of uv damage providing the appearance of a higher protection factor that the actual value.
This is soooo informative and useful!
Please keep sharing hardcore beauty science with us🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤓🤓🤓
thank u so much for sharing ur expertise and thoughts on skin science and cosmetics! i always love learning from u (-:
Love this lipstick colour on you Michelle! Very flattering :)
during this quarantine i’ve been getting more and more into skincare. thanks so much for this video, it’s interesting how these are still repeated
Thank you for the knowledge and light you bring in our lives! Very nice video! Also you have a nice hair!
Thank you so much for these! I have lupus so I've always had to be really diligent with my sun screen, and I started seeing all the "chemical" and "physical labels and I got so confused
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! So amazing thank you for BUSTING these myths. 🖤🖤🖤
Wow ty ! I’ve been hearing from almost every youtuber about how using chemical sunscreen is so bad for the reefs. This info will definitely open up my choices now.
Informative post. I learned a lot, thank you! ✨
Thank you. Excellent information as always.
I really appreciate that bit about the coral reefs. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved this video! I learned so much, thank you!
Yeeeey another upload 😄😄😄 busting spf myths are my favourite
Hands down my favourite skincare channel on RUclips
I slather sunscreen on for sure. My skin hates all chemical filters (even European ones), so I stick to high zinc sunscreens. There are tinted options available as well as ones that don’t have a noticeable white cast, even with through application.
My skin is dry how do I avoid the stretchy feeling ? Do you prep like heaps under it?
@@bottlefly5124 I have found that most Zinc sunscreens are drying, but Biossance Zinc sunscreen seems be very moisturizing, with CoTZ tinted face moisture coming in second. I typically use grape water, diluted USP glycerin, squalane oil, then seal it all in with vaseline.
Loved the video, thank you for all the useful informaton. It would be amazing if you could do the technical nerdy video :) Please also include an explanation why chemical and mineral sunscreens look so different under the uv camera.
I am soo confused. First I’m gonna try not to cuss but I just went last week and returned all of my Chemical SPF to CVS. Then repurchased Mineral SPF. All of these doctors on RUclips saying it’s better for hyperpigmentation especially in African Americans. Now I have all of these mineral SPF that make me look ghostly and DONT blend at all, to find out that was all bull???? Ok. I’m done, maybe I should just not watch RUclips anymore cuz this back and forth is killing my pockets and time.
Raven Beautiful Disaster am going through hell cos i thought physical is better, i don’t wear makeup, have to start wearing cos am brown skin and physical causes white caste,so i spend my hard earn money on makeup to cover it,and i heard that chemical is absorbed into the blood stream and can cause demages. i just bought a very expensive sunscreen just because i wanted a better one😭😭😭😭😭
Lol, i feel your concerns. It's so annoying to hear all these different opinions and basing your spending your hard earned money on products they recommend and don't recommend. I am black and use mineral sunscreen. I used to use chemical sunscreen (mind you there are some of those that cause a white cast as well) but noticed a slight burning sensation when i was using an spf moisturizer as well as breakouts and saw from skincare youtubers like dr dray that they have the same experience, so I switched to mineral. I recommend the guards up mineral sunscreen from versed. It's 22 bucks for like 1 oz but I like it. I'm dark/brown skinned and it leaves little cast on me. I also have the purito comfy water block (mineral) and unscented centella (chemical) sunscreen and haven't seen a cast on either if them, but I'm gonna finish the versed before i start them.
Mind you, she may not be referring to darker skinned folks in this video. Also i believe she did another spf myth buster, believe the title was Should you wear your sunscreen indoors ? Where she said that according to an article there's little research to claim that darker skinned people need to apply sunscreen religiously (they don't recommend going for long periods of time under sun exposure without sunscreen) so... I dunno what to tell you 🤷♀️
@@rukaiyadauda142 there has been reports of ingredients absorbed in the skin but NO reports stating that it leads to any danger
The same thing happened to me!! I think I'm just going to forgo sunscreen unless I know I'm goign to be outside int he sun for more then 2 hrs, I'm dark skin African American and I spend most of my time indoors so I feel like all this sunscreen talk is a little obsessive. I understand what Michelle and others says but I really don't feel like it is that big of a deal for darker skin people (darker then tan/caramel) as long as we aren't standing outside on 95+ degree (F) for hours at a time. Lastly, chemical sun\screen makes me break out no matter what if worn consistently and physical sunscreen gives me that white caste regardless the brand.
I just use a combination sunblock. There is no cast. CVS Clear Zinc is really great and it's colorless. Plus it's affordable!
Make a video about the reflect vs absorb thing. I'm tired of explaining to skincare influencers that both absorb and organic filters aren't the devil - in fact they provide protection against UVA1 which zinc oxide and titanium dioxide cant provide protection for. Also I can't stand how people support Skinnies sunscreen - a great sunscreen with bad marketing. They advise a pea-sized amount for the whole face, neck and ears!
Zinc oxide does provide UVA1 protection and also some visible light protection. Zinc oxide is a full spectrum filter. It just doesn't achieve as high a rating as chemical filters.
@@avalyn28 zinc oxide only gives protection against visible light if the particles are huge. No sunscreen on the marked protects beyond 400nm
Amazing video as always, we are really lucky to have you on youtube. Hope you have a great day❤️
Such a good video!! Really love this
You're my absolute favorite skincare RUclipsr!
Amazing information! Things I thought I knew about spf! I have a chemical spf I love but thought it wasn't good for my skin so thank you for busting that myth! Now I can keep using it!
I am so impressed!!! i have so many of the same opinions and thoughts! thank you so much for sharing
LOVE your myth-busting series!
So grateful for you and your HUGE brain! Keep up with the good content! Your lipstick looks amazing btw, what is it?? :D
Thanks again for another great educational video. 😀
Thank u so much for this much informative video, you deserve a lot more subscribers.
I love learning and I love hearing you talk lol thanks!
I really thought I knew things about sunscreen but you just busted down that door and laid down some facts! Wow so glad I watched this
Please provide a more technical explanation for how chemical and physical filters absorb UV rays. I have a science background myself (biology and neuro), so I would appreciate learning how these 2 very different molecules work so similarly.
My sunscreen deliveries keep coming every month and my mom always ask me why do I use so much product
Hahaa sunscreen first before heading out. A 100ml tube of sunscreen lasts me 1.5 months only for the face.
Here to express interest for that hardcore nerdy breakdown video!!!
I really like your myth busting vedios 😍.
And please make vedio on how sunscreen works 🥰.
I don't know if anyone else hears this, or if it's intentional, but I always think that when you say, "notification bell," that you're making a pun and actually saying, "nerdification bell." As a current microbiology major, and a skincare nerd, I think it's just what I want to hear!
Anyway, thanks for being awesome and brilliant!
Really nice and informative video, thanks
excellent video ☺️ ps your hair looks great!
Thank you for addressing the coral reef myths. I wasn’t sure about that one and was still feeling guilty about spf even though I don’t live near any coral reefs.
So helpful. Hell yeah scientific literacy! Thank you for sharing!
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Thank you Michelle, your sunscreen videos are some of my favorites. I was really starting to worry, but now I’ll be sticking to my chemical sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast so I can actually wear it out without looking like a clown💀 Please do a more technical video we are here to nerd out 😂💁🏾♀️!!
